Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

The sensor was applied to tomato, grape and corn matrices using standard addition, with tabled recoveries from 95.53% to 106.40% and agreement with HPLC comparison values.

Caveat: The narrative reports a different recovery range (103.68-108.54%) from the values visible in Table 1; table values were extracted directly.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

The Co-HHTQ-MOF/GCE sensor shows repeatability, 10-day stability within 10% current variation, and anti-interference responses below 1% without IMI and within 5% with IMI.

Caveat: Repeatability is described qualitatively; numerical RSD is not reported in available text.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Co-HHTQ-MOF/GCE provides sensitive IMI detection from 0.4 to 30 nM with a 0.086 nM LOD and 0.120 uA nM-1 cm-2 sensitivity.

Caveat: Performance is for an electrode composite sensor, not a standalone conductivity device.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: Medium

SEM, XRD, FTIR, and BET data support successful formation of layered Co-HHTQ-MOF with high crystallinity and porous nanosheet morphology.

Caveat: No CIF or full structure refinement is provided in the assigned documents; phase assignment relies on reported XRD peak matching and spectroscopic/morphological evidence.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Co-HHTQ-MOF is designed as an intrinsically conductive 2D MOF where pi-d conjugation and pi-pi stacking in the layered framework promote electron delocalisation and charge transport.

Caveat: The paper reports EIS-derived interfacial resistance for the electrode, not a direct four-probe conductivity measurement of pristine Co-HHTQ-MOF powder.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

IMI reduction at Co-HHTQ-MOF/GCE is assigned as diffusion-controlled because peak current correlates better with square-root scan rate and the log Ip-log v slope is close to 0.5.

Caveat: Full raw scan-rate data are not available in the SI text layer.
